Clarification, August 11, 2025 17:49: One candidate withdrew. The original 27 headline is now 26 to reflect this change.
We need someone who is a regular citizen, your neighbour. Not someone who is connected to business, politics or has name recognition. We need a hard worker with youthful ideas. They must have a passion for the issues not just a knowledge for the issues. We do not need someone talking about what’s wrong but how they are going to fix what is wrong.
Fedurko by a mile. Look at the resume.
